The Knicks have a very interesting fanbase in RealGM. They have some amazing posters like cgf, Capn'O, Chuck Everett, sp6r=underrated, DOT and quite a few others. But since they're such a huge fanbase, they also have their RHODEYs. That just comes with the territory of having a huge fanbase. It's not their fault, really.

It’s not a rivalry by any means

It’s Pacers destroying the Knicks for more than quarter of a CENTURY!!!

So while Knicks fans call this rivalry , Pacers is Knicks daddies

Rivalry means different outcomes, here is the Pacers whooping Knicks over and over again

Something what LeBron did to Raptors while he was in EC , not a shot at you , just a reality :D

TF you talking about? The all time series is 3-5, nothing like what you're portraying, you're as lost and the nets are bad good Lord man....

On the same token, Indiana remembers New York arriving in Indy dressed in funeral black in game 6 since they were about to "bury" them.


Yeah but that was Carmelo's Knicks you can't take them seriously. Dude was a fraud. And Jr Smith.

I'm talking about last year's series. After the Knicks won game 5 at MSG to go up 3-2 they were fairly confident that they'd close out the series in 6 so they wore funeral black.

Carlisle’s great, but Thibs just keeps getting better & learning from his mistakes, every year.

Thibs has been better this year for sure, but he’s notoriously known for not learning from his mistakes.

This year seems to be different, but we’re talking about a coach who finally learned after how many years vs a coach who’s made a conference finals with 4 entirely different teams.

Not knocking Thibs this year, just commenting on what his reputation has been.


Nah, he’s been like this since he came to NY, people just cling to the old memes & his reputation instead of accepting the reality in front of them.

Yup. I didn't even remember that the Melo team did it.

We really need to not do that. Never goes well.

EDIT: The Carmelo one was against the Celtics though. We did beat them but not that game.

I mean, that's not true for the Pistons, is it? They had already lost Ivey long before they faced you but that doesn't mean that they weren't missing a key player.

The point is that injuries do happen and they do not cheapen another team's success. You can only beat who's in front of you.


They didn't have Beef Stew for most of the series but he played in G1.

Ivey was a -7.5 on/off on the year. I like his talent but their run to the playoffs really started after his injury. He's not quite ready for prime time on a winner. Stewart was a loss though.

If NYK plays the way we did in G4 and G6 of the Celtics series we're very tough to beat. That's the best I've seen us play since 99. Perhaps 94. Both years I know most everyone here remembers :D
